Chilterns Adventure Race

• Last Updated: Monday 13 April 2026

We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday for the second race of our 2026 Summer Adventure Race Series!

Event base: The Oratory School Sports Centre, Woodcote, RG8 0PJ. Please note: The Oratory Prep School is located a 5-minute drive away – it is recommended that you use the postcode (RG8 0PJ) rather than ‘The Oratory School’ if relying on sat-nav.

For those who have not raced with us before, we have put together this short video to give you a bit more information on what to expect (if viewing on a mobile device it works best when opened to full screen mode).

At the moment, the forecast is looking dry and sunny for Saturday. It is always recommended that you check the forecast on the morning of the event so you know what to expect. As always, we recommend packing a waterproof and extra layers just in case.

We will be carrying out spot checks on mandatory kit before the start so please ensure that you are carrying all required kit with you. You can check the kit list here.

We look forward to seeing you at The Oratory School on Saturday for a day of adventure!

Course Notes

The layout of the course is such that:

• The transition point for the run and bike is located at the event base
• You can start on either bike or foot (depending on your kayak window)
• You can run and bike as many times as you like (i.e. you can run-kayak-run-bike-run, etc)
• The kayak transition can only be accessed by bike and is around 8km away via the shortest route

How long you spend running, biking and kayaking is up to you. But, if you’ve never done a Questars Adventure Race, it can be difficult to know how long to spend on each discipline. On Thursday, along with the start lists and kayak timeslots we will publish our Course Planner’s Guide which will give suggestions for how to structure your day depending on your kayak window.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
